Just looking for ideas for a retired farmer to utalise for diversional therapy at sundowning time
Hi Jacqueline, what about a box full of old padlocks, some of them clipped together, give the farmer the keys and tell him you need help sorting them out. Maybe find some hinges, gate latches and drop bolts to sort through as well, or small tools, anything he would recognise from the farm and could tell stories about. Meredith
A fabric bag with a window in it, fill it with rice and childrens farm items such as miniture tractor, horse, etc and list what is in it for the gentleman to find.
Hi Amanda
Thank you for your suggestion
Shucking corn and snapping beans.
Hi Jennifer
This is a good idea too
How ever you would be surprised on how fast residents can shuck corn
Thank you Jennifer
Along the line of Jennifer suggestions peeling an orange can take a long time especially if the person likes to eat oranges
I had a resident who loved oranges and you would give her one or two to peel it might keep her busy for an hour
Person might need help depending on the orange
